Last week’s post was dedicated to the book layout of the book Awakening Possibility. Well… here one on the cover.
This project was quite complicated, and changed concept a few times. And since I started working on the cover long before the layout, as the layout progressed I had to work back and forth on the cover as I wanted cover and layout to be consistent.
To transmit the idea of workbook and implying interaction I used some of the elements from the interior of the book like the dashed lines, Escher drawings, etc.
And here some of the earlier drafts (even one with a change in the title!):
I’ve never come across a book design blog before. I love the simplicity of the above cover, the bracing black type and oversized quote mark.
Thanks Maggie! Nice to hear that.
Wow this is fun blog to follow.
Nice designs. Anna :)
Thanks Anna! Glad you like it :)
Hello! I’m a graphic designer, that also make book covers, and I’ll always come here to check your work and inspiration! Thank you, and good work.

I agree! As a very satisfied (and recent) customer of SoroDesign, I must say that you do fabulous work. Your covers are inspiring, the colors and images fantastic. Recommending you to friends and family is a no-brainer. I know my sister is ramping up a new business and will be needing a website – I’ll definitely send her your way. Thank you!!!
OK, is Maggie being sarcastic or real? If one were to Google “Book cover design blog” the search result would be endless…
@Joana: Thanks for your nice words.
@Sara: Thanks Sara! It was great working with you!!
